Exercise #1:Start with WHY by Simon Sinek

1. States should withdraw the exclusive geographic franchises given to school districts.
2. States should create a way to establish new public schools that create competition for existing schools and provide parents with choice.
3. These new public schools should be authorized by an entity that oversees and holds them accountable, but unlike a school district does not own or operate the school.
4. These new public schools should be freed from unnecessary rules and regulations, in exchange for producing results.
5. These new public schools should be dually accountable: to the marketplace of parental choice and to the standards of the public interest.

Start with perspective Before you develop your goals and targets, identify your school’s
mission, vision, and essential elements of your educational program. Now ask these questions to help guide you in choosing what to measure:
If you had to turn your mission into a measurable objective, what would that look like?
Does your vision statement include any big picture student outcomes that could be broken down into
measurable goals? What makes your school unique? What aspects of your educational program are the most critical for
maintaining your school’s mission and vision?
Mission Specific Goals
![Page 45: New Jersey Board Institute 2016](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103104/58ae8b8f1a28abdf068b5123/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
With each mission-specific goal, strive to answer the following question:
HOW MANY of WHICH STUDENTS will achieve WHAT LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE as measured by WHICH ASSESSMENT TOOL within WHAT TIME FRAME?
As you develop your mission-specific goals, you should be conscientious of the data tracking and analysis burden that comes with each goal. Make sure that your implementation plan is realistic and that your school has the appropriate knowledge, tools, and resources to complete it.
Mission Specific Goals

Ensuring Good Stewardship
55
• Charter boards are stewards of public funds and must execute certain duties.
• This includes fulfilling fiduciary responsibilities.
• Trustees must ensure the school is well managed and fiscally sound.
• Responsibilities in exercising this trust fall into three categories: Duty of Care. Duty of Loyalty. Duty of Obedience.
![Page 56: New Jersey Board Institute 2016](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103104/58ae8b8f1a28abdf068b5123/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The Three Duties
56

• An audit is an independent, external review of a school’s financial records:
• Expresses an opinion on the truth and fairness of financial statements.
Provides a reasonable verification of expenditures, cash, enrollment, and other operations.
Might reveal faulty business practices.
• Conducting and reviewing an annual audit is part of the board’s legal and fiduciary duty.

The Two Parts of an Audit
60
1

MANAGEMENT REPORT. A synopsis of the school’s fiscal performance, findings, and recommendations for improvement.
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR). A detailed data including basic financial statements, detailed budgetary information, internal controls and financial trends.

A Test for Good Stewardship

ENSURING THAT OUR SCHOOL IS …
Fulfilling Its Financial Commitments
Acting in Compliance with Law/Regs
Meeting Budgeted Revenues and Expenditures
![Page 62: New Jersey Board Institute 2016](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103104/58ae8b8f1a28abdf068b5123/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
• The budget is an expression of your school’s priorities. Must be reasonable, sufficient, and accurate. Allocates resources to best support your school’s success. Requires realistic student count estimates. Provides for staff to serve student needs.
• The budget assists in managing your school’s assets. Funds short-term priorities. Funds can be set aside for longer-term priorities (i.e., facilities). Assists the board in being prepared for a “rainy day.”
Investing in Your School

Setting Priorities
63
Strategic Planning
Committees
Strategic planning and finances are intertwined.
Committees should periodically discuss goals.
Student Achievement
The ultimate goal is to maximize spending to increase student achievement.
![Page 64: New Jersey Board Institute 2016](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103104/58ae8b8f1a28abdf068b5123/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
• The budget is part of the board’s fiduciary responsibilities. Understand and be engaged in the process. Ensuring public input and being good stewards of public funds. Know the key components that affect your budget. Ensure that spending aligns to priorities. Provides for staff to serve student needs.
• The budget is the best guess on expenditures, made about 18 months prior to the end of the fiscal year-expect transfers
• Trustees do not need to be “experts,” but understanding, asking questions, and being engaged in the process is critical.
The Board’s Role in The Budget
64
![Page 65: New Jersey Board Institute 2016](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103104/58ae8b8f1a28abdf068b5123/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
• Accurate student enrollment assumptions are essential. Both revenues and expenditures will be primarily driven by enrollment.
• Key revenue assumptions are: Total student enrollment. Enrollment by sub-groups that qualify for different funding. Estimated per-pupil funding. Any other grant, categorical, or federal fund historically received.
• Key expenditure assumptions are: Staffing, including who, how many, and compensation. Facilities, transportation, food services, and related costs. Contracted services.
Key Budget Assumptions

• Educational goals are the first priority. Questions to consider are: Are resources allocations aligned to the school’s mission? Are programs achieving the educational goals in the charter contract? What adjustments might be needed to better support teaching and
learning so the school achieves greater success?
• Short- and long-term needs should be taken into consideration. Are savings needed to buy new technology or finance a new building?
• Look at long-term trends in enrollment to manage cash flow and savings to prepare for a rainy day.
• Audit findings inform the budget process.

Four Wise Revenue Questions

1

REOCCUANCE. Are expected funds reoccurring, or are they one-time-only?
REPORTING. What must the school do to receive any anticipated funds?
RESTRICTIONS. Is the school restricted on how funds can be expended?
RETROSPECTIVE. How do anticipated funds compare to last year?

Healthy organizations align their employees around organizational clarity by communicating key messages through …
• Repetition: Don’t be afraid to repeat the same message again and again.
• Simplicity: The more complicated the message, the more potential for confusion and inconsistency.
• Multiple Mediums: People react to information in many ways; use a variety of mediums.
• Cascading Messages: Leaders communicate key messages to direct reports; the cycle repeats itself until the message is heard by all.

Charter Schools Provide Diversity - Different Schools for Different Kids
Charter Schools have led the way in using Data-Driven Approaches (not just about standardized tests)
Focus on Service Rather than Rules Meeting the needs of students and producing promising results without
making excuses A focus on rules often results in an “our way or the highway”
atmosphere that charter schools can combat An orientation toward service is manifest in responsiveness to parents –
charter schools are inherently schools of choice A focus on rules prioritizes compliance above performance and places
energy toward minimizing risk of non-compliance rather than minimizes risk of negative student outcomes
Charter School Excellence Comes in Many Forms
